Q4. I have heard you can't spray Buffalo grasses for weeds without killing them or setting them back.

Answer:  Sir Walter Premium Lawn Turf has the  highest tolerance of all soft leaf buffaloes for herbicides. As long as turf is established and directions are followed you can spray Sir Walter for broadleaf weeds.
 

Q5. Why should I spend more on Sir Walter when other varieties like couch are so much less.

Answer: Sir Walter Buffalo has a longer growing cycle (one crop per year compared to up to three for couch) and therefore cost the farms more to produce, hence its higher price.

Sir Walter does however have a number of factors that have made it more popular with householders including staying greener in winter, looks better on less water, is more self repairing, virus resistant,
shade tolerant and, here is the money saving one, it requires LESS maintenance. Couch varieties need to be
mown with a cylinder mower to look professional and vertimowed at least every two years. Sir Walter can look great with a well maintained rotary mower. Also it does not invade your garden beds and paving like kikuyu and couch and requires much less fertiliser. People are also purchasing it for the sell on properties because its good looks, it enhance the overall appearance of your home and contributes to a quick sale.
